Ingredients:
- 36 poblano peppers
- ¾ lb Oaxaca cheese, sliced thick
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 6 eggs, separated
- 1 cup jarred salsa verde
- 2 cups jarred red enchilada sauce
- 1 cup Mazola Corn Oil
- 1 teaspoon tajin seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Mexican crema or sour cream
- Chopped cilantro
- Lime wedges
Directions:
-
Roast poblano peppers on baking sheet for about 30 minutes, or until skin is charred; then remove from oven.
-
Place poblanos (two in each bag) in resealable bags to steam for 5 minutes so they are easier to peel.
-
Peel the char off the poblanos; then remove the seed and stuff with cheese.
-
Place peppers in refrigerator for 30 mins to chill.
-
In a bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
-
In a separate bowl whisk together the egg yolks, flour, salt and tajin seasoning; then carefully slowly fold the egg mix into the beaten egg whites.
-
In a pan, heat up 1 cup of Mazola Corn Oil to medium heat.
-
While oil is heating, mix flour with salt and pepper in a bowl, then dredge the poblanos in flour mixture.
-
then roll in the egg whites mixture before carefully placing in the heated oil pan.
-
Fry for about 5 minutes; then flip the poblanos and fry for another 5 minutes.
-
While poblanos are flying, in a small pot, heat the enchilada sauce and salsa verde.
-
Once poblanos are done frying, it’s time to assemble!
-
Ladle enchilada sauce mixture onto center of a plate, place two poblano peppers on top, and top the poblanos with dollops of crema, pico de gallo, cilantro and lime wedges.
Buen provecho!
